So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Disney Plus, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for August 3-9, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

1. The Fantastic Four: First Steps | A Special Look (2025)

Marvel’s First Family is finally getting their MCU moment—and this sneak peek proves they’re not playing around.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps gives us an exclusive look at Marvel’s most anticipated reboot, with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach stepping into those iconic suits. Think interviews, early footage, and enough Easter eggs to send Reddit into a frenzy.

It’s only a few minutes long, but it sets the tone: sleek, retro-futuristic, and packed with cosmic weirdness.

If you’ve been waiting for Marvel to finally get the Fantastic Four right… this is the appetizer before the main event.

2. The Amateur (2025)

No gadgets. No tuxedos. Just a man and his fury.

In The Amateur, Rami Malek plays a CIA decoder who snaps after his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack—and when the agency shrugs it off, he goes full vigilante. It’s gritty, grounded spy stuff—less Bond, more Bourne meets TÁR (yeah, it’s that quiet-rage kind of thriller).

Malek’s performance is tightly wound, and the story cuts deeper than your average espionage fare. No car chases, no quips—just one man hunting answers in a system built to ignore grief.

It’s slow-burn and sharp—and yeah, it sticks with you.

3. Snow White (2025)

Magic mirror, meet modern makeover.

Disney’s newest live-action fairy tale flips the script just enough to keep things fresh. Rachel Zegler is Snow White, sweet but sharp. Gal Gadot goes full glam villain as the Evil Queen, and there’s a roguish bandit (Andrew Burnap) thrown in for good measure.

The vibe? Classic storybook meets moody adventure, with new songs from Pasek & Paul and visuals that swing from gothic to glittery.

Some purists might grumble, but it’s a bold swing—and Zegler owns every scene she’s in.

Watch it for the drama. Stay for the dresses.

4. Freaky Friday (2003)

Mom’s stressed. Daughter’s angsty. Cue the body-swap chaos.

In this early-2000s gem, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan switch lives after a cursed fortune cookie, and what follows is pure comedy gold. Guitar solos. Parent-teacher meltdowns. Chad Michael Murray in peak teen heartthrob mode.

It’s funny, heartfelt, and way smarter than it had to be. And Curtis? Absolutely unhinged in the best way.

Whether you’re revisiting or finally catching up—this one’s still freaky, still Friday, and still iconic.

5. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

The job is a dream. The boss is a nightmare.

Anne Hathaway plays Andy, an aspiring journalist who lands a gig at a top fashion mag—only to face off with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, the iciest icon in stilettos. You know the story. You know the lines. (“That’s all.”)

But it’s not just about clothes and cattiness. It’s a razor-sharp look at ambition, identity, and why your boyfriend might actually be the villain.

Still endlessly watchable. Still stylish. Still the reason every office intern secretly fears their boss.

6. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025)

Summer camp? More like supernatural chaos with a  number.

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4 sends Zed and Addison into the woods for a chill getaway—but instead, they land smack in the middle of a vampire vs. daywalker feud. Naturally, they’re now camp counselors trying to broker peace between two very dramatic factions (with great hair and even better eyeliner).

Expect new characters, bigger dance numbers, and way more fangs. Oh, and Eliza and Willa are back to help keep things semi-under control.

If you’ve been with the franchise from the start, this one leans into the lore and ups the stakes—literally.

7. Fantastic Four (2005)

Before the multiverse, before the MCU… there was this.

In 2005’s Fantastic Four, four astronauts get zapped by cosmic rays and turn into a stretchy genius, an invisible empath, a fiery himbo, and a very grumpy rock. Together, they take on Doctor Doom and attempt to make blue jumpsuits look cool.

Jessica Alba and Ioan Gruffudd keep things grounded, Chris Evans steals every scene as Johnny Storm, and Michael Chiklis gives The Thing surprising heart.

It’s cheesy. It’s dated. It’s kinda charming. And if you’re in a Marvel time capsule mood, it hits just right.

8. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Shiny alien. Huge surfboard. Earth-ending vibes.

This sequel ups the ante with the arrival of the Silver Surfer—a mysterious cosmic being who looks like a Chrome extension and talks like he’s seen the void (because he has). As the team scrambles to stop him, they uncover an even bigger threat: Galactus.

Laurence Fishburne voices the Surfer, and Doug Jones gives him eerie elegance in every movement. Also, Chris Evans turns briefly evil, which is fun.

It’s not perfect—but it’s visually bold, weirdly philosophical, and way more memorable than you’d expect.

9. Zootopia (2016)

Welcome to the city where predators wear ties and rabbits carry badges.

In Zootopia, rookie cop Judy Hopps teams up with sly hustler Nick Wilde to crack a conspiracy that’s turning the city’s predators savage. It’s a buddy-cop mystery in a world where sloths work at the DMV and sheep run the system—so, basically real life.

It’s clever, colorful, and surprisingly deep. Kids will love the animals. Adults will catch the social commentary.

Also, if you’re not humming “Try Everything” by the end, you might be a robot.

10. Rio (2011)

One bird can’t fly. The other won’t listen. Welcome to the jungle.

Rio follows Blu, a nerdy macaw from Minnesota who gets shipped to Brazil to meet Jewel, the last known female of his species. Unfortunately, smugglers have other plans—and suddenly it’s birds on the run in the most vibrant, chaotic city on the planet.

Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway are great as the feathery leads, and the soundtrack slaps harder than a samba drumline.

It’s silly. It’s sunny. And it’s got just enough heart to make you cry over two animated birds in a tree.

And That’s a Wrap

From body swaps and fashion tyrants to flying birds and space-altered superheroes, Disney+ is serving a wild range of vibes this week—and honestly, we’re here for all of it.

Want something new? The Amateur brings the espionage edge, and Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4 delivers musical monster mayhem with a side of glitter. Need nostalgia? Freaky Friday, Rio, and Fantastic Four take you straight back to the 2000s (in the best possible way). And if you’re just waiting for Marvel to finally do Fantastic Four justice—well, First Steps is the breadcrumb we’ve been waiting on.

Whether you’re chasing comfort, chaos, or cosmic rays, this week’s Disney+ lineup covers every corner of your watchlist.

Pop some popcorn. Cue the nostalgia. And hit play.
